112 things in four apps, and none of them with a day.
“I've got lists in Notes, in Notion, on the back of an envelope and in my head at 2am. Every single thing on them is a good idea. I just never know which one is today's.”
Sam Okafor, 34 · Office job by day, candle shop by night · London
Handles insurance claims by day. Pours candles for their online shop by night, at the kitchen table.
Sam isn’t disorganised. Sam is the most organised person you know, inside their head. The trouble is that everything in there feels equally important, so nothing ever gets a time.
Four apps of lists didn’t help. They just meant four places to feel behind.
Names and details are illustrative.

Notes, Notion, the envelope, the 2am thoughts. All of it typed into one list, fast, sorting later.

Three things, not thirty
Sam starred the wholesale email and told Yoodoo the evening. Three things got a time. The rest waits safely in the list.

Runs that count
Three runs a week as a habit on Home. Miss Tuesday and Thursday is still there.

The list is still long. It always will be, because Sam is full of ideas. But every evening now has three of them in it, with times.
